//------------------------------// // Rap Battle #8: Results and Aftermath // Story: Epic Rap Battles of MLP // by enigmaMystere //------------------------------// Vinyl was resting in her bedroom, indulging in something she only did on special occasions - reading a book. She would never admit it, but she loved science fiction. Think about it - a machine that could travel through space and time! Who wouldn't like to have something like that? She paused in the middle of turning a page, feeling eyes on her. Glancing up, she realized her suspicions were correct; the fillies and colts were all gathered around her. With a small sigh, she closed her book and smiled at them. "How may I help you?" "You know how." The brash pegasus jumped onto the bed, pulling her (former) opponent up with her. "Tell us who won! I know that strange device you have tells you!" Vinyl rolled her eyes, reaching over to her bedstand to grab her cell phone. "Fine. Let me get my-" She blinked, feeling the top of the small piece of furniture for a few more moments, a stunned look on her face. "...no..." She hesitantly turned, eyes widening in shock as she saw a certain device missing. "What is t-this thing?" Vinyl snapped her attention to the grayish-purple unicorn currently messing with her phone. Leaping over the heads of the other young ones, she snatched her machine, hugging it tightly to her body. She sighed in relief before tensing up, looking at the foals behind her. Most of them were staring back, the tan pegasus deciding to fix a wary gaze on the light purple unicorn. The DJ gave a sheepish grin, rubbing the back of her head with her hoof. "...I don't like ponies touching my stuff..." She awkwardly cleared her throat, trying to think of something to distract from her embarrassment. "...where's 'Shy?" A little yellow filly raised her hoof, but spoke immediately anyways. "Ah believe she's takin' care a' her animals." Smiling softly at how much that was like Fluttershy, Vinyl activated her phone, beginning to count the votes. Meanwhile, the other ponies slowly left, except for Scootaloo and Pipsqueak. The former was trying to sneak glances at the colt, quickly looking away each time, as he was staring right at her. The older mare paused her tally and smiled softly, seeing the shared blush on the faces of the young ponies. It was really quite adorable. She then decided to make sure of something before telling them who won. "What is your wager?" They turned to Vinyl, confused. "...wager?" Scootaloo rubbed the back of her head with a hoof, unsure of what else to say. "...we didn't know we needed a wager..." The spotted colt next to her nodded in agreement. The DJ shook her head, a smile playing across her lips. "Then how about this: the loser has to do one thing the winner says. No questions asked." The two school ponies looked at each other, then back at their temporary guardian, nodding. "Good deal! One sec..." Vinyl finished tallying the votes, putting her phone back on the night stand before turning to her charges. "The winner is Scootaloo, though it was really close." Scootaloo's pupils shrank, looking everywhere but the colt next to her. She obviously was worried he'd hate her for beating him. However, when he poked her shoulder, she had to face him. Pipsqueak held a hoof up, a bright smile greeting the pegasus' gaze. "Congrats, Scoots!" He chuckled softly as he saw her blush grow even more. She grinned, taking the hoof and shaking it. She leaped off the bed, motioning towards the door. "Come on, Pip! There's something I'd like for us to do!" He jumped down and followed, a curious look on his face. "What is it? Pretend pirates? Aliens? Alien pirates with a treasure planet?" Vinyl lay back down, closing her eyes as she tried to sleep, the last words they said as they left ringing in her mind: "Have you ever heard of...k-kissing?" Her eyes snapped open wide. Nope! She sprang to her hooves, chasing the two young ones before they did something they might regret later. Okay, a few things. While this aftermath is definitely going up, the next rap battle might not come for a while. I'm not entirely sure how often I'll be able to update, but be sure when I say this - I will definitely continue to make rap battles. Also, I promised a friend that I'd post a rap battle in the comments between him and another for others to vote on. ^^; And yes, that's Scoots asking Pip for a kiss. :p "Why the BUCK would you write that!?" There's a comedy tag. Maybe you missed it? :3 I also got around to making more title cards! Yay! :D Sadly, there weren't really enough references for Blueblood's... :\ ...I feel like there's something else for me to mention...but I just can't remember... Anyways, you all have a nice day! Enigma out.~
